Arise Riddim – Tasjay Productions

A warm, mid-tempo roots cut with a patient bassline and a lifted, devotional feel runs through Arise Riddim, and Tasjay Productions keeps the mood focused on uplift rather than flash. Horace Martin’s “Arise Black People” sets the tone with the kind of conscious message that suits the framework best, while Vonnii’s “Couldn’t Be” adds a softer, reflective edge and Rad Dixon’s “Giving Thanks” leans into gratitude without getting heavy-handed. The project also folds in Desi Ranks and Patcha Blacks, giving the riddim a nice spread of veteran voice and newer energy, and the producer tucks in an instrumental version at the end, almost like a final nod to the groove itself. A small, thoughtful reggae set, and that closing version lingers just a bit.
